alt Hacker NewsSeriously. The Wii, Wii U, DS, and 3DS eShops are still running to redownload your past purchases. The Wii shop is actually 20 years old now! It feels disingenuous to read people bemoan Nintendo for their "license vs ownership" when Nintendo has an extensive history of supporting its online shop customers.

But locking their cards to the hardware preventing a resale market is pretty crumby. I only purchase Switch2 games that are physical, no download codes. Vote with your dollars.

What are you referring to? The Wii and 3DS shops quite famously shut down years ago. Yes there’s hShop now which simulates it and provides every ROM for free, but you can hardly credit Nintendo for that.
